Apple Watch software update 8.5.1 problems

Just updated Apple Watch SE to Version 8.5.1 and immediately lost voice alerts during running, vibrate function and face brightness has dimmed noticeably. Has anyone else had these problems on software upgrade to 8.5.1? Can I fix this?

Hi Barraby!


Have you tried restarting both the iPhone and the Apple Watch?


Restart your iPhone


Restart your Apple Watch


If that doesn't help, try unpairing the Apple Watch from the iPhone and setting it up again:


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


If you're still having trouble after trying those steps, you should contact Apple Support using this link:
